I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
I was installing my new tires today, the last one I unwrapped to install had a sticker “Last Tire”—so it must be the “last” one. Sorry everyone, I mounted it already so it is not for sale or bid. Hopefully you brought tires before I got the last one. 🤪
On a more serious note, I finally finished the restoration of my 19” accessory Motor Wheel wood wheels. My son helped me install them on the car this afternoon so we took it for a spin and shot this picture.

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
Great looking car. I must admit the wheels look odd to me. But, I think that is because I am used to the metal ones and that is what I expect to see. They are very nice though.

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
A match made in heaven...wood wheels on a woodie. I am not sure what I will do next time I need tires since you got the last one. Ha Ha

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
Inspired!
What a fine idea... Would you be able to post a shot of those hubcaps? Great fusion. Pre-A look, meets modern Hi-Tec fabrication, plus an incredible use of wood. Another reason to drive a woodie. Thanks! |

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
31 Woody, Your back seat passenger looks a little under fed. His ribs are showing. Wood wheels on a woody, is a match made in heaven.

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
Is that you in the back? Must have been a really hard job installing that last tire to wear you that thin.

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
The guy in the back seat is the original owner. Was cheaper than burying him.

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
If I could find a set of wheels like this, I'd have them on my pickup in a heartbeat!

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
@31Cabrio & Chuck - I will try to post some hubcap pics tomorrow. I am in need of good ones. They are threaded.
@TerryO - I think I would rather have the first one than the last one! Funny that you saved a picture too! @CarlG - that set on that car is a bit out of my budget.

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
Love the wheels and your "A". The wheels give it a nice touch. Hope my Woody looks close to that some day...

Re: I got the LAST Goodyear Tire!
I would guess they produce tires in batches. First in batch, last in batch. Neither one may be the “preferred” tire!
